Great Job Bob Arum...I'll bet if it's PPV Fight,we'll wait for months for the total PPV Buys.

This didn't reflect at the stadium, I was there and it was pretty dead. Way too many empty seats. The thing that really sucks HomeDepotCenter/TopRank was saying all the $25 tix were sold out at the gate and were only selling the $50-$300 tix , but when the main event started those $25 seats were still empty all night long. SMH

Taken at the main event time...

1.4 million watching on TV and a handful of people at the event. Modern boxing in a nutshell.

This is the modern era of Boxing. The money is in T.V viewings not how many people show up to watch live.

Why do they use venues of that size for fights that clearly aren't going to draw crowds anywhere near big enough to fill them? 3000 people in a small indoor arena creates a great atmosphere. 3000 people in a big outdoor arena is just depressing.

Are Top Rank/HBO tied into a number of events at these venues every year? That's the only explanation that makes sense.

This is great for boxing! I hate it when I ****ty PPV gets a lot of viewers while a FOTY candidate goes unnoticed.

Did u see the polls before the fight? This was considered a Mismatch, it was an 8-1 odds on Bradley. Most of you thinks Bradley will dominate. Half thinks this will be Boring!

But I'm the very few who thinks this will be competitive! And it could become exciting because of Ruslan's style! Good thing a lot of people seen it!

I saw on twitter purses were Bradley $1.8 million, Ruslan $150,000. I can't find it though.

They probably moved up in seats. They checked for the lower level at MSG, but when I went to Verona, they didn't check diddly
